Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock(有现货的), the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of
trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute impolitely; he does so with skill: “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
28. The underlined sentence “the price is a secondary consideration” in the first paragraph means when a man is shopping ______.
A. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too dear B. he buys whatever he likes without considering its value C. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things D. he often buys things without giving the matter proper thought. 29. What does a man do when he can not get exactly what he wants? A. He buys a similar thing because of the color he wants. B. He usually does not buy anything.
C. At least two of his requirements must be met before he buys. D. So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.
30. What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers? A. Men do not try clothes on in a shop while women do. B. Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not. C. The time they take over buying clothes.
D. Men go shopping based on need, but women never. 第二节：七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money. 31 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example. 1. The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员). 32 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money. 2. Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 33 If you must say no to a child‘s request to spend money, explain, ― You have enough toy trucks for now. Or, if the request is for many different things, say, ― You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.
3. 34
Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product--- a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标产品)，for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 35 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases. A. Wise decisions B. The value of money
C. Permit the child to choose between them.
D. Tell your child why he can –or cannot --- have certain things. E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）[来源 第一节 完型填空（共20小题；每小题 1 分，满分 20 分）
